Finishing/Signature Moves:
Career
He initially earned fame for being one part of the tag team The Steiner Brothers with his older brother Robert, who wrestled as Rick Steiner. They won multiple tag team titles in NWA, WCW, WWF (now WWE) and other promotions. After the formation of the New World Order in WCW they eventually split up, with Scott turning heel. His new gimmick was eerily reminiscent of Superstar Billy Graham's, as Steiner now dyed his hair and beard blond, seemed to bulk up his muscles freakishly almost overnight (creating rumors of steroid abuse), and becoming known as "Big Poppa Pump" and "The Genetic Freak". Other nicknames he had are, "The Big Bad Booty Daddy" and "Freakzilla" which he used in the WWE. Steiner was also the last "real" WCW champion, holding the title from November 2000 until the final Nitro on 26 March 2001, dropping the title to Booker T, WWF then bought out WCW. Steiner has since resurfaced in the WWE and feuded shortly with World Champion Triple H and aligned himself with WWE Diva Stacy Keibler before he formed a tag team with his rival Test.
Steiner suffered an injury and was out for 8 weeks and wasn't being used much in meaningful matches or feuds. Hence, the WWE decided to buy his contract out. Steiner never reached the success that he had in WCW nor did he reach the potential he had in the WWE due in large part to the WWE not being quite sure how to use him. His muscle bulk and leg injuries had also significantly slowed him down. Scott Steiner was released by WWE on August 17, 2004.
He claimed to have the "largest arms in the world". He has made a workout dvd available from his website.
